Car gets a woody...
So.. everytime im accelerating hard, my 4th gen electric seat grows a mind of its own and starts lifting me... Im sure its an electrical gremlin, but its funny because it only does it when im really on it, or if I am racing.
Anyone else have this problem with their 4th gen seats ?

look for the wires for the seat i would expect that the pedal is hitting it and grounding the wire frayed it even.

Half of the shiyet on the street that would race me is intimidated by the shaking of the hood at idle, (big cam), and the cut outs. I generally don't street race, against my morals, but some must be shown WTF, so i'll entertain the angry cockroaches (a term used for ryce boys here) in first gear....
Admittedly I like the hard on effect, I do worry about it shorting out something..

I don't think the seat wires run anywhere near the pedal, but it could be frayed wires or a worn switch making contact when accelerating.

The switch is probably worn out, It sounds as if the increase in current due to the increase speed of the engine is making it arc in the switch, or the contact in the switch is broken loose and the G-force due to acceleration is causing it to close the switch. But I would say either way I would try a replacement switch, but check the wireing going to the servo's it could be moving under acceleration and giving that servo power feed some how.
